I went into Apple store last week to buy the new iPod touch and got told they had sold out 30+
iPods within half a day then was told they would get some more in this week but her look on the face said it all really,

I already own a 2G iPod but after experiencing the 4G version I want it but I cannot seem to get it anywhere,
everywhere says it's forthcoming with no actual date some say 3-4 weeks Pre-Order it

does anyone know when this official date is gunnabe the date to get one?

My Workplace seem to think they will have some this week im so un-sure of this though
any advice peeps?

Apple c'mon sort it out yeah

Not bothered about the lack of stock personally, still deciding if I want an iPhone or an iPod Touch, and by the time they come back into stock in a couple of weeks, I'll most likely have enough for a 32GB iPhone 4 and will go for that.
Why the hell didn't I get a job earlier?

Another point is that they cannot be jailbroken yet, which maybe you aren't interested in doing anyway though.

I doubt anyone want's to jailbreak there ipod touch(s) anymore, the only reason anyone would wan't to jailbreak an ipod touch is to get paid apps for free and thats it because apple have made everything else added to iOS (i.e. Home screen wallpapers) and according to apple.com/uk/retail they have new stock of the ipod touch 4g everyday and have plenty at the regent street and the new covent garden london stores.

I have looked at that iPhone 4 but the attenna issues bother me,
why should I have something like that, thats not exactley upto scratch (Moneywise)

I have my HTC anyway prob alot better lol

I considered jailbreaking my iPod touch 2G a few weeks ago,
but under the circumstances thought neh in the end,
IO have version 4 Software on that atm just got 4.02 lastnight and it's added the shadow
on the menu on the bottom but still no option to use wallpaper on the menu area,

unsure if apple will do this on the 2G version but i think the 4G iPod is smaller
and has alot on it so it's why I want it to replace my 2G,

just wish they would hurry up into stock tbh dunno whats the delay on them either
apple had them instock last week 30+ and sold within half the day GRRRR!

I've had a play with one, and while the thinness doesn't seem drastically different, the silver boarder around the edges of the previous Touches has been shrunk and is now pretty much non-existent. This really makes it seem TINY!
About the antenna issues, they were completely blown out of proportion and only a selected few devices were prone to dramatic loss of signal, and the Touch seems to have more problems, like slight clicking sound while recording video with WiFi turned on, and slight light leaks around the boarder of the device

I played with a iPod touch 4G and compared it with my own 2G version in the apple store last week,
its just slightley smaller missing the silver lining as you say,
but its just packed more with more to do ive had my 2G for 2 years and not a problem with it at all,
if the 4g has these faults it will prob be fixed via updates apple are rolling updates out every 2-3months
now its been that since i updated from 4.0.1 lol

it would be brill if apple brought out a brandnew phone next year but I think
there just bringing out a White version aren't they of the current

white is nice but again attenna would they have fixed this?

I think having the iPod touch is better then ive got the best of both,
no point having a phone thats constantley on recharge every day with ehat im gunna use it for anyway

I've got to charge my Desire daily so don't mind doing that same with an iPhone
Nope though, It's likely that when the Apple bumper case promotion ends (30th Sept) they'll announce a slightly modified iPhone with no antenna issues, and a white model following. Next July I can promise you there will be a new model, as there has been every year.

LOL I think Android is the way to go more choice of phones and with the playstation phone arriving with no
doubt Android firmware I don't think Apple with have a Pip to stand on

HTC are fireing out alot of phones atm ok apple have the upper hand with more games atm but thats gunna eventually change, the desire is also considered better then the iPhone 4

btw due a upgrade July don't know if its pointless having a iPod touch and a
iPhone what the fun in that having the same devices

I just want iPod btw atleats its more reliable and im not gunna have to many issies with it in the longrun

It'll take a good year or two before the market becomes really competitive, in which time I'll probably have switched phones about 2 times and be leaving for uni
Fair points though, really impressed with my Desire, and from what I've seen of the Wildfire it seems great too!
Good luck finding an iPod, and be sure to post some pictures somewhere

Yeah its amazing how the wildfire is so much like the desire,
if it had the same screen as the desire it would be a totally badass phone

Im not looking at any phones btw till nearer July,
i may aslo change networks to cos vodafones reception has become so kak lately

*Sigh*
Well Im hoping my mates at Currys digital have kept me one back,
otherwise I wont be happy this Saturday

Fingers Crossed!!!!!
